In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Karen O'Donnell, BSN, RN, CEN, TCRN where we discussed how limiting beliefs, stressors of traditional nursing roles and always being told "NO" gave fuel to a desire to step into entrepreneurship as a means to gain freedom to create the nursing career that allows for the creativity and flexibility that Karen truly wanted and deserved! ✨We both agreed that the glass ceiling is very low in traditional institutional nursing roles, so instead of just accepting the status quo - Karen put systems into place and she eventually broke through that glass ceiling and is now helping other nurses reclaim their autonomy to raise the ceiling to new heights through entrepreneurship and emotional freedom techniques (EFT)!

Imagine discovering the hidden traits quietly sabotaging your leadership. This episode reveals the 11 risks that can derail even the most promising careers.Leadership failure rates remain shockingly high—studies show that 50% to 75% of leaders are ineffective. Why?

In this episode, we'll uncover what's really behind poor leadership—beyond skills or knowledge—and explore a breakthrough approach to improving leadership effectiveness at every level. You'll learn why traditional development falls short, how to recognize your own derailers, and what leaders must do differently to succeed. It's time to stop tolerating mediocre leadership and start raising the bar—with data, accountability, and coaching that goes beneath the surface.Imagine this: You're confident in your skills, respected for your expertise—and yet, under pressure, something subtle starts eroding your impact. Missteps you can't quite explain. Tension in conversations you thought you handled well. That's not bad luck—it's likely your personality-based risk factors at work. In this episode of The Hard Skills, we go beneath the surface of leadership. You'll hear why half of leaders fail—not because they lack ambition or know-how, but because of how their hidden derailers quietly sabotaged their performance, relationships, and results. We unpack the 11 risks that can wreck even the strongest careers, how to recognize them in yourself and others, and what to do to stop them before they stop you.

This episode is your straight-up crash course on perimenopause... what it is, how to know you're in it, and what to do when your body starts rewriting the rules without your permission. I'm joined by Dr. Amy Killen, who doesn't sugarcoat a thing. Together, we unpack the early signs of hormonal shifts, the symptoms most doctors dismiss, and why perimenopause deserves real medical attention, not another vague suggestion to “just get more sleep.” We get into the real reasons behind the mood swings, sleep disruption, joint pain, and motivation crashes. We cover which labs are worth running, how to interpret them, and why testosterone and progesterone matter long before menopause officially shows up. We also talk through the decision-making process around hormone therapy, when to start, how to cycle it, and what the latest research actually says about safety, cancer risk, and long-term benefits. If you've been told to wait until menopause to care about your hormones, this is your correction. No confusion, no guesswork, no being dismissed. Just the facts, the options, and the tools to make informed decisions that actually support your health. This is the conversation you should've had years ago. Let's get you caught up.

I was in my 20s when I read the book: Breaking the Glass Ceiling, and I remember saying to myself: I'm gonna do that. -Carol Conway Bulman Carol Conway Bulman is the proud daughter of real estate legend Jack Conway, but becoming CEO and Chairman of his real estate empire wasn't handed to her. In this up-close and personal interview, Carol shares her father's success story as well as her own rise to the top with this life lesson: “Don't wait for someone to put an opportunity out on a silver platter for you, because they're not going to do it. I adored my dad, but he didn't give me this opportunity. I needed to earn it.” Today, Carol is at the helm of a real estate firm whose signature bright red for-sale signs are in front of houses from the South Shore to the tip of Cape Cod, across the state to the North Shore and over the border into New Hampshire and Rhode Island, with 700 agents and 20 offices throughout the region. Innovation has been her middle name with the creation of a one-stop shopping experience for their clients. Carol and her team have created Conway Country Insurance, Columbia Title Company, and Conway Staging. Their newly renovated headquarters in Hanover also includes relocation experts and a learning space for continued education. The icing on the cake? Some of Carol's children are also involved in the business! When I asked what Jack Conway would think, Carol says: “He'd be tickled pink to see his grandchildren working in this organization and loving real estate the way he always did.” For 23 minutes of wisdom from a 30+ year real estate maven, plus tons of #wisdom you can use, just hit that download button. #realestate #leadership #women #empowerment
